I feel like I should somewhat explain my lack of recipes around these parts lately. You guys, life is happening so dang fast. The minute we got home from New York, we finally realized that we had a baby on the way and maaaaaaybe we should think about getting a nursery ready. Let's not talk about how I just made a baby registry last week...at 33 weeks. I'm officially the latest woman ever on that. I swear, the lady at Babies R Us looked at my belly and my clueless face and surmised I'm the world's biggest idiot. I'm far from perfect, this I know.
There are also a few other mega-exciting things that I can't exactly share just yet (but will just as soon as I can) that are taking up all of my free time. But, I keep reminding myself it really isn't too much effort for me to make dinner earlier in the day and photograph it when the light is nice. Then, when dinnertime rolls around and it's already cooked, well, that feeling is priceless. We eat dinner for two every night, and if I could just compliment the chef real quick, our dinners are pretty dang fantastic. The chef makes a real mess in the kitchen to produce such dinners, but after one bite, all parties---err..party of two---agree it was worth it.
Just like you, I'm already thinking about summertime produce. But also just like you, it ain't here yet. Although I've been dreaming of summer tomatoes, I've been buying mushrooms instead. It feels like a cheap trade-off, until I stuff them with cream cheese, garlic, and herbs and top them with bread crumbs before baking them. I've always loved stuffed mushrooms. So pop-able and perfect. I took the same flavors, and made a grilled cheese that tasted exactly like one big stuffed mushroom. You need 1 portobello mushroom per sandwich, and a little cream cheese sprinkled with garlic powder to open shop. Add a little shredded Gouda and fresh parsley or spinach to close your first deal.

Grilled cheese that tastes like stuffed mushrooms?! This is genius!
Kristen says
This may be the best thing I've seen on the internet, all day!
So delicious!

You'll be fine! Trust me, babies know how to do all the heavy lifting (mine all did) and all you need to do is take them home and let other family members spoil you for being such a clever girl! After all, LOOK at the "sandwich" you created...I rest my case.

I've never had mushrooms in grilled cheese, and it sounds fantastic!
Eleanor Steward says
Are your planning a cookbook of Dinners For Two in near future?
Sharon @ What The Fork Food Blog says
Now this is my kind of sandwich. Actually anything with mushrooms is my kind of food.
I totally relate to procrastinating with the nursery. My youngest just turned 1 in February and we STILL haven't finished her room... ha!

Christine @ Cooking with Cakes says
I don't even like grilled cheese and I am DYING to try this, so that's a pretty major compliment :)
